- W3208051978 abstract "Background and objectiveAgeing is a physiological process accompanied by functional, morphological, biochemical and psychological changes. In geriatric population, there is deterioration in balance, postural control and gait due to impaired cognitive function, decline of sensory, visual vestibular, somatosensory input, motor responses, and musculoskeletal systems that are resulting into postural instability and fall. The number of persons above the age of 60 years is fast growing, especially in India. Falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injury, fractures & the leading cause of emergency department visits by older adults. Low balance confidence is a major health problem among older adults restricting their participation in daily life. Even though there are many methods to improve balance, it is necessary to investigate an effective method to improve balance in geriatric population. The aim of the study is to compare between the effects of lower extremity stretching and wobble board exercise on balance in geriatric population.MethodsThirty subjects were selected for the study on the basis of inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, and were assigned into two groups of 15 subjects each: Group A underwent lower extremity stretching twice daily for 10 weeks and Group B was treated with wobble board exercise for 15 minutes for 8 weeks. The outcome measures were Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Activity specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test. Using these outcome measures, pre-test and post-test values were obtained.Results and discussionThe result was analyzed using t-test and it was found that in paired t-test in lower extremity stretching group, the Berg Balance Scale has improved significantly (p<0.001), the Timed Up and Go Test has improved significantly (p<0.001) and the Activity specific Balance Confidence scale has increased significantly (p<0.001). In wobble board group, the Berg Balance Scale has improved significantly (p<0.001), the Timed Up and Go Test has improved significantly (p<0.001), the Activity specific Balance Confidence scale has increased significantly (p<0.001) between pre and post intervention.On comparing the difference in the results between the groups, the Berg Balance Scale (p<0.001) and Activity specific Balance Confidence scale (p<0.05) in wobble board group showed greater change than the lower extremity stretching group; Timed Up and Go Test in lower extremity stretching group showed greater but insignificant change than the wobble board group.ConclusionIn this study, it is concluded that wobble board exercise group is better in improving Berg Balance Score and Activity specific Confidence scale when compared to the lower extremity stretching group." @default.
